125. Valid Palindrome

Given a string, determine if it is a palindrome, considering only alphanumeric characters and ignoring cases.

For example,
"A man, a plan, a canal: Panama" is a palindrome.
"race a car" is not a palindrome.

Note:
Have you consider that the string might be empty? This is a good question to ask during an interview.

For the purpose of this problem, we define empty string as valid palindrome.

public class Solution {
    public boolean isPalindrome(String s) {
        if(s.length()==0)
            return true;
        int low=0;
        int high=s.length()-1;
        while(low<=high){
            while(low<=high&&(!valid(s.charAt(low))))
                low++;
            while(high>=low&&(!valid(s.charAt(high))))
                high--;
            if(low>=high)
                return true;
            if(change(s.charAt(low))!=change(s.charAt(high)))
                return false;
            low++;
            high--;
            }
        return true;    
        
        
    }
    static boolean valid(char c){
        if((c>='a'&&c<='z')||(c>='A'&&c<='Z')||(c>='0'&&c<='9'))
            return true;
        else
            return false;
    }
    static char change(char c){
        if(c>='a'&&c<='z'){
            char temp=(char)(c-('a'-'A'));
            return temp;
        }
        return c;    
    }
}
